Spencer and Ethan discuss the importance of having a POV and desired aesthetic when it comes to menswear! It's an important mindset to develop if you're just starting out or trying to hone in your interests. They also discuss all the style idiosyncrasies of their POV that resulted from years of vintage collecting.

The boys spend an hour discussion different ways to keep that (trouser) waist snatched! They discuss the excellent drape you get from braces, how side adjusters keep the waistband clean, and the personality and mid-century charm of a thin belt (which is our favorite).

We're finishing off the year with a topic that we've teased about in previous episodes: Influencers. It's a big one, as I'm sure a lot of people have wondered what our goals and views are for social media. Here's the secret: we don't really care. We just want to post fits and cool photos whenever we want!

The short answer to the title topic is yes, but the true answer, particularly for us is a bit nuanced. It requires a bit of context, leading us to talk about our lifestyles, income, and career aspirations. Once that's settled, we're able to talk about how we've acquired our wardrobe, which primarily leans on vintage and second hand clothing rather than luxury items. It's a great conversation that I hope you enjoy.

In a world where navy blazers and grey sportcoats are touted as basics every man should own, there is one that stands out: the Brown Checked Jacket. This episode is all about that beloved jacket and its multitudes of variations, each with it's own character and vibe. The jacket goes with everything and is equally classic and slouchy, which is why we talked about it for an hour.

It's starting to get cold (kinda), so we thought it would be fun to discuss our favorite headwear that coincidentally starts with a "B"...and the fedora, I guess. We talk about their practicality, the vibe each one presents, and the ones we currently own.
